The sysVOL folder stores the server's copy of the domain's public files. The contents such as group policy, users etc of the sysvol folder are replicated to all domain controllers in the domain. The sysvol folder must be located on an NTFS volume The article describes how to use the Burflags registry entry to rebuild each domain controller's copy of the system volume (SYSVOL) tree on all domain controllers in a common Active Directory directory service domain. The term SYSVOL refers to a set of files and folders that reside on the local hard disk of each domain controller in a domain and that are replicated by the File Replication service (FRS). Network clients access the contents of the SYSVOL tree by using the following shared folders:
In Local Disk, Properties, Shadow Copies tab
Windows doesn't provide any tools for converting an NTFS volume to FAT or FAT32. You will have to copy the files on the volume to another location and then format the drive. Note that FAT32 is a much more limited file system than NTFS, and there is probably no advantage to doing so on a server.

These are the primary differences between Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 server: 1) Win 2K has Emergency Repair Disk) for disaster recovery scenarios where in Win2K3 we have advanced ASR (Automated System Recovery) 2) In Win 2K only domain wide trust relationships can be maintained. However in win2K3 forest-wide trust is a new feature in active directory. 3) Win 2K uses IIS 5.0 version whereas Win 2k3 has IIS 6.0. 4) Win 2K3 has a new feature called volume shadow copy component. This feature allows taking snapshot backups. 5) Window 2003 server includes IIS server in it. That is the biggest advantage on top of better file system management. 6) You can change the domain name at any time with help of ntdsutil command, without rebuilding the domain that is not possible in 2000. 7) In 2000 support maximum 10 users access shared folder at a time through network but in 2003 no any limit. -Nitin Note: Note: 1: Windows 2000 server give only 90 days trial version of Terminal server. but windows server 2003 give 120 days trial version. 2: Windows server 2003 shared folder at a time only 65767 user access.
All active directory data base security related information store in SYSVOL folder and its only created on NTFS partition. B: The Sysvol folder on a Windows domain controller is used to replicate file-based data among domain controllers. Because junctions are used within the Sysvol folder structure, Windows NT file system (NTFS) version 5.0 is required on domain controllers throughout a Windows distributed file system (DFS) forest. This is a quote from Microsoft themselves, basically the domain controller info stored in files like your group policy stuff is replicated through this folder structure
